TODAY IS GOOD FRIDAY 10TH APRIL 2009
What is Good Friday?
On Good Friday, Christians remember the day when Jesus was crucified on a cross.
Why is it called Good Friday?
The name may derived from 'God Friday' in the same way that good bye is derived from 'God be with ye'. It is 'good' because the barrier of sin was broken.
What happened on Good Friday?
Jesus was arrested and was tried, in a mock trial. He was handed over to the Roman soldiers to be beaten and flogged with whips. A crown of long, sharp thorns was thrust upon his head.
Jesus was forced to carry his own cross outside the city to skull hill. He was so weak after the beating that a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene, was pulled from the crowd and forced to carry Jesus' cross the rest of the way.
Jesus was nailed to the cross. Two others criminals were crucified with Him, their crosses were on either side of Him. A sign above Jesus read "The King of the Jews".
